#FrameItFriday WEEK 1 SEASON 6! Well now, happy freakin' new year! It's been 6 days of 2023, are you still "writing" 2022 on everything? Just curious. If you're Canadian you know that last night the Canadian Jr. hockey team took home the Gold medal in the world Jrs. In spite of the fact I played hockey for close to 7 years back in the day (I wore Lange skates and they're still around here somewhere) I really do not follow hockey that much unless it's the playoffs. I love th

#FrameItFriday LAST BLOG OF THE YEAR! Well, here we are, second last day of the year, my 11th year of #ChickPicotheDay, 4,048 days in a row and 10,000+ followers here on Facebook. This is the time of year when everyone puts out their "best of", "most watched" etc, etc and OF COURSE I'm doing that! I do it every year (ok, not for 11 yrs in a row) but for a few years (I upload them to my YouTube account) If you've been hanging out with me for a bit you know I've just sat down t

#FrameItFriday (week 48 season 5) That huge dump of snow we received up here this past Saturday is dripping off the eaves and into the ground below....it's ugly snow now. What does one do when ugly snow shows up? One thing is to write your to-do list in your blog so people can hold you accountable to all the chores you said you'd do. 1) Put away the patio furniture and kayaks that you forgot were still outside because they were covered in snow. 2) Test the bin of Christmas li

#FrameItFriday (week 46 season 5) My 5th annual Calendar is in da house! In fact, a huge portion of pre-orders were mailed a few days ago, did you get yours yet??? Post a selfie with it if you did and you're feeling like it. I had to go to her majesty to get her to pose with it, this year if you ordered my 2023* calendar you will receive a letter from Stella Cat! (ok, she dictated, I typed it) This week's blog is just a short infomercial: Support Local Artists! If you've been

#FrameItFriday (week 43 season 5) Today’s lesson is “take the picture”! Trust me I’ve learned that the hard way. For instance these 2 shots were taken about a year apart. Old Hastings Road was where I first spotted this cute little hunt club shack in the forest. The 2nd shot I had to take last week when we returned there. I was shocked, I mean, look at the second shot, it’s the only building left standing. I couldn’t get the shot head on due to the huge logging truck there lo

#FrameItFriday (week 27 season 5) Well looky here, if it weren't for the Canadian flag on her ball cap I'd swear #StellaCat has gone all Handmaid on us or perhaps both? Regardless of her "I'm going to get you for this mum" look, Stella is extremely grateful to live in a country that permits her to nap 23 hrs a day and get an hour off to eat, get brushed and watch birds from the safety of her screened in porch. We are all grateful and fortunate to live in the most amazing plac
